McCartney wrote the song in 1968 with the Beatles while the group were studying Transcendental Meditation in India.[1] After the band's return from India, McCartney recorded the song as a demo at George Harrison's Kinfauns home before sessions for The Beatles (also known as "the White Album") took place. It was ultimately passed for inclusion on The Beatles (1968), as well as Abbey Road (1969). After their break-up, McCartney recorded the song for his debut solo album McCartney. The song's lyrics describe various items in a junkyard. A slightly longer, instrumental version of the song, titled "Singalong Junk", also appears on McCartney. HistoryMcCartney wrote "Junk", along with another McCartney track "Teddy Boy", during the Beatles' visit to India in 1968.{{sfn|Sulpy|Schweighardt|1997|pp=155, 237–38}}{{sfn|Winn|2009|p=373}} The song was one of several the Beatles demoed at George Harrison's Kinfauns home before the recording of The Beatles in May 1968.[1] The Esher demo was eventually released on Anthology 3 in 1996 and on the 50th Anniversary of the "White Album" in 2018.[2] While the song was considered for The Beatles (also known as the "White Album"), it was passed over for the album, as it well as for Abbey Road. McCartney eventually recorded the song, along with "Teddy Boy", in February 1970{{sfn|Madinger|Easter|2000|p=154}} for his debut solo album McCartney. The song's working title was "Jubilee", and also known as "Junk in the Yard".[1] Take one appeared on the McCartney album as "Singalong Junk" and whereas take two was issued as "Junk".[1] "Junk" was included on an EP (along with "Another Day", "Oh Woman, Oh Why" and "Valentine Day") released only in Mexico. The song has been dropped from his live setlist, but was included on the compilations Hits and History (2001) and Pure McCartney (2016).[3][4][5] CompositionThe lyrics of "Junk" have McCartney describe numerous contents of a junkyard, including parachutes, army boots, and sleeping bags for two.[9] The song's chorus: "Buy, buy, says the sign in the shop window/why, why, says the junk in the yard" illustrate what it's like for these items.[9] Besides the exclusion of vocals, "Singalong Junk" features mellotron strings and the melody is played on a piano.{{sfn|Madinger|Easter|2000|p=156}} The song also features more prominent drums. This version of the song is said to have been the original instrumental backing to which McCartney was planning on singing, but he opted for a simpler arrangement for the vocal version instead. ReceptionSince release, "Junk" has received positive reviews from music critics, with many considering it a highlight of its parent album. In a review for McCartney on initial release, Langdon Winner of Rolling Stone complimented the album's use of simplicity, saying that it "works very well."[6] Winner praised "Junk" and "Teddy Boy", describing both as "low pressure compositions with gentle, poignant lessons to convey" that are "very tasteful and fun to listen to."[6] Donald A. Guarisco of AllMusic considers "Junk" of the "finest moments" on McCartney, describing it as "a melancholy charmer of a ballad that has become a cult favorite with McCartney fans."[7] Guarisco further praises McCartney's vocal performance, writing that it "captures [the song's] wistful mood nicely."[7] In a retrospective review for McCartney, Record Collector has highlighted "Junk", along with "Every Night" and "Maybe I'm Amazed", as songs that "still sound absolutely effortless and demonstrate the man's natural genius with a melody".[8] Joe Tangari of Pitchfork similarly called both "Junk" and "Singalong Junk", with "Maybe I'm Amazed", as the "peaks" of McCartney.[9] Personnel
